Probably Sold already, at a much higher price of course.
I Also thought Maybe a Hoax by Wife,
Getting back at her Husband
because he bought it & Never uses it,
So she Threatened to Get it out the house
I'v seen Women post their
Kids bikes in the local Free adds
just to try and scare the kids into not leaving
them lay outside.
like "Free Bicycle, Lays in my Driveway all the time,
just take it"

Got this this morning... Oh well I had hopes of getting a Minelab and for only 2$...
"Hi,
The price for the minelab is US $2,000.00 shipping included. I will like to complete the transaction only through eBay.
If you are interested let me know so we can proceed.
Thank you"

I replied to the email asking which auction was his on ebay and if I could just come pick it up. Here was the reply, received just minutes later:
___________________________________________________________________________________
"The item is not anymore on eBay. I'm located in Indianapolis, IN. Can you come and pick it up ?
Thank you"
___________________________________________________________________________________
I sent a second reply saying that I could pick it up (I travel extensively) and asked if he could send me his phone number to discuss it. So far no reply.
My gut says scam... for his sake I hope my gut is wrong.
Oh, as of a few minutes ago there was no listing for this on the Indianapolis Craigslist.

I searched Harrisburg (PA) for Minelab
The Link that came up says baltimore (MD)
Unless He Posted it everywhere to get coverage.
IF He is allowing Pick-Up probably not a scam.
Of course Perahaps He expected a No from you.
so he could request mail payment.
But maybe he just didn't get back yet

That's why I offered to pick it up.. its best to spend that kind of $$$ in person IMO.It just feels like it might not be legit...
and I don't want to see anyone else who is considering it to get burned.

Yep Under All the Circumstances so far,
pick-up would be the only way to go.
can't get burned that way,
unless he sends you on a wild goose chase,
which would make no sense.
